What Are You Waiting For? Advent Retreat

Quickly on the tail of Fall comes the ‘Holiday Season’ filled with activities one upon the other. And it is easy for all those activities and their preparations to be exactly what distracts us from their deeper meaning. This seems to be especially true for the celebration of the Incarnation – Christmas. We easily overlook the whole season designed to help us prepare for the Great Feast.

Advent is the season of preparation, of waiting. But what are you preparing for? What are you waiting for? The answer to that is unique to each person and their relationship with the one for whom we wait. This program will invite you to consider those who have shown us how to wait, to quiet ourselves, to listen and to celebrate the gift of waiting.

This program will include, input, opportunities for personal quiet and reflection and sharing.

*This is a one day retreat event only. The same retreat is held on December 3rd.
